​Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos did not let Russell Wilson down — whether the head coach loves or hates the Super Bowl-winning quarterback.Before Sunday’s showdown between AFC West Division rivals Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Wilson gave his bold prediction for the contest.The former NFL QB and now CBS Sports analyst thought about his pick before deciding to back Payton and company, adding a hilarious quip at the end of his prediction.“Guys, is it a ‘Let’s Ride’ moment or not? I got the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, Super Bowl champion, but nobody can catch the ball,” Wilson said. “And I got the Denver Broncos. They were struggling on offense, but my guy Bo Nix stepped up in a big way, and listen, he got some explosive plays. 62-yard touchdown.”So, I’m riding with the Denver Broncos; I’m back in Denver. And Sean Payton, you may like me, you may not, but I’m picking you.””Sean Payton you make like me, you may not but I’m picking YOU!”@DangeRussWilson HAS STILL GOT IT pic.twitter.com/5YUKWRqaiP— NFL on CBS (@NFLonCBS) November 1, 2026Wilson’s marriage with the Broncos was a tumultuous one, but that clearly did not stop him from showing some level of support for Denver, at least from an objective perspective.Denver Emerges With Big Win in Week 8 Rematch Against The ChiefsBo Nix (10) looks on in the second half against the Seattle Seahawks at Empower Field at Mile High.
